My attempt to create a notification system.
Windows-only, as it's the only OS which doesn't have anything like that out of the box (at least before Windows 10).
I tried to keep it as simple and lightweight as possible.

Sorry, i don't use g+, if you want you can write the post yourself.
EDIT: ah, i see, you've already did that, ok then

Thanks for all kind words, hope someone will find it useful

Updated styling to look more like W10 notifications:

Works great, thanks

Thanks deseven. I really like.

Thanks guys

Well, in revisions 4 & 5 i implemented onClick support. It means that now you're able to perform some actions when user clicked on the notification (simply close it or run some program, etc).

Other important stuff:
- notifications can be forced to stay forever if needed
- tunable constants in the main include file, so you can disable or enable animations or alter their times
- latter notifications will take place of the expired or closed ones (some sort of a queue)

And, of course, there are 2 new examples to help with all that new functionality.

That's it i think, i can't imagine anything else to implement.

Turned out that i still have things to do

In revisions 6-9 i improved notifications queue (notifications which don't have free space on the screen will be showed later), added support for the latest PB 5.40, reworked notification display and animation algorithms, should be faster and flicker-free now.
Also, the usage is simplified, no more CreateThread() calls.

There are, however, some changes in the constants. So if you used older revisions you should double-check that.

This is a REALLY nice piece of code, I used it in my last project, thanks!

I'm trying to learn to use git, and I thought it was a good idea to publish my changes on this projet:
_ module format
_ Notifications can be placed anywhere on the screen (it's a bit of an hack to keep the general api the same, see example-advanced.pb) :
